Concept explainers
(a)
To find:
The projected Hispanic population for 2005 and compare this to the actual value of 42.69 million for the given exponential function
(b)
To find:
The projected U.S. Asian population for 2005 and compare this to the actual value of 12.69 million for the given exponential function
(c)
To find:
The expected annual percentage increase for Hispanics and for Asians.
(d)
To find:
The projected U.S. black population for 2005 and compare this to the actual value of 12.69 million for the given linear function
(e)
To graph:
The projected population function for Hispanics and estimate when the Hispanic, Asian, and black populations will be double its actual value for 2005.
